Re: Switch Piracy Tool Could Brick Your System Because It Contains (Wait For It) A Piracy Countermeasure

@McHaggis Yea I pretty much agree with you there. I don't think homebrew is morally bad at all but do believe Nintendo have the right and should do whatever they feel necessary to prevent piracy etc.

Yikes though! Didn't realise the 3DS had anti hack,bricking issues like that.

@PipeGuy64Bit No worries, as I say, I was irate yesterday and probably come across a bit o.t.t bulshy.

@PipeGuy64Bit I don't think I'm morally better at all, sorry if it came across that way. Probably just my rage lol.

@catbox Right ok cool, thank you for providing an insight. See, I wouldn't know this. I wish some people on Reddit explained this to me instead of just downvoting me to hell and telling me their rights.

@McHaggis Same to you. Thanks for the insight!

I still don't feel bad for anyone who gets banned for doing things that they know could ban them though.
Apparantly that's an uncommon opinion lol

Seriously, the attitude of most people I've seen who are pro hack don't help any matters. It's the exact same attitude people on the wrong end of the law are like, "That ruddy copper took me in coz I did 'X', it's not that bad, I can do what I want with my 'x'/life/whatever."

No...the rules are there for a reason. So we don't suffer. If you're gonna compromise something you're not supposed to or reverse engineer this and that at least fess up and admit it's not exactly pro-company and pro-consumer.

Edit 2: Obviously I didn't know the ins and outs of the below statement and others have provided decent feedback, therefore I retract the following;
Edit: And for all you pro hacking, anti piracy guys who say that finding security vulnerabilities can help improve a company's product and make it more secure actually believe that, why not just foward the information to the company instead of making it available to literally the entire world?
Why would you?

And don't give me "to discuss it further" as I'm pretty certain the company employees would have lengthy conversations with the person who discovered these.

@Petraplexity Exactly. Stay offline and away from my paid service please.
I say innocent with sarcasm as I'll bet my hat over 50% of people who visit hacking sites pirate games.

I'm just a bit bitter after being argued the toss over on reddit that people who do anything against TOS should expect to suffer consequences and not get free passes.

I actually understand the pros of hacking but you can't deny the major con of eventual piracy end of. I actually dont care about piracy on older gens anyway but that's personal.

Also is that "literally immediately banned" in bold as you think it's wrong for Nintendo to do that? That's the attitude I've been getting off others and it's selfish and childish. (Not calling you this atm, just feel irate lol)

Re: Switch Hackers Are Now Forcing Adult-Themed Imagery Into Super Mario Odyssey

There's the usual people on reddit saying how it's fine and bodies should be shown as they're beautiful etc etc.
I really don't understand how anyone can not realise the difference between pornographic content, showing media based idealistic bodies and over sexual behaviour etc for the purposes of sexual excitment and a tasteful artistic representation of the human form and say everyone is a prude and it's fine for children/a family friendly game.

Seriously?! The mind boggles!!

With also zero thought to how,if this was commonplace throughout a childs life, how it would make them believe both the opposite sex and themselves should behave.

I just... Idk man, the internet I guess.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Make Of The Three Big Pokémon Games Coming To Nintendo Switch?

DABYX

@Tulio517 That's kind of my hidden worry. They don't seem as bad as I first thought but if it sells well and provides a giant influx of people to move to mobile GO (which,as we know mobile games make stupid profit from skeevy mind tactics) it could entice Nintendo to head into the direction of making games to promote mobile games.

I mean...what if Animal Crossing Switch has special items unlocked only after playing pocket camp for 'x' hours!!

Re: Nintendo Announces Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu! and Let’s Go Eevee! For Nintendo Switch

DABYX

No one asked for my opinion but hey!
My first thought was URGH! Combining mobile and console!

But watching the trailer... as long as the GO mobile game isn't necessary or an advantage (if there is online play which it doesn't look like?) then I find it ok and looks like a good idea to bring smaller ones and those not into Pokemon games much into the series.

I reckon I could get the wife excited with multiplayer pokeball throwing and not an overload of pokemon to remember. 😊

Re: Video: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Brings Both Good and Bad to Nintendo Switch

DABYX

I'm pretty much in the camp of this is a bad idea but for the major reason of how quickly the gaming industry takes on new things and #@$! consumers over.

A streaming service itself isn't bad per-se but it would quickly become the only option. I can still buy dvds etc.

Also,how often do you rewatch a film or series compared to replaying a game?

Guess it's dependant on each person.
But it's all about future choice.
I currently think there's too much online dependance and splitscreen abandoning as it is lol.

Re: You'll Need Pen And Paper To Play This Nintendo Switch Role-Playing Game

@Cyberdyne84 May I suggest one of the D&D adventure boardgames if you haven't tried them.
Castle Ravenloft, Legend of Drizzt etc.
A nice mix of easy die rules with dungeon exploring fun great characters.
All games can mix and match and setup etc isn't too bad.

The missus and I enjoy them a lot and there's no stats to keep track of yourself. Everythings on the cardboard bits.

Definitely simpler than something like Descent.
